The integration of the OroraTech Wildfire solution into our continuous monitoring system is a turning point in the study and management of forest fires in our projects. The high capabilities of this system, which relies on the latest advances in satellite remote sensing, help us to significantly improve the identification of fire events in near-real-time, as well as to forecast their behavior with high precision.
Recent climate projections have identified a notable growth in the frequency and virulence of wildfires, which will be progressively accelerated by climate change. These projections, together with catalytic climate episodes such as El Niño, pose a high threat to natural ecosystems. It is therefore crucial to implement new tools and systems, such as OroraTech, which help us reduce these risks and thus protect the planet’s global natural landscapes.
By collaborating with OroraTech, we are harnessing the latest fire alert technology to enhance our fire mitigation strategy. As a forest conservation company, we are always looking for the best available tools that will help us monitor natural ecosystems. Remote sensing technologies have undergone a major transformation in the last few years, with the appearance of many satellite missions and companies providing new solutions to monitoring the earth’s natural ecosystems. We have found Orora is positioned as a leader in this space, bringing fire detection and monitoring to a higher level.
